You can never rely on a single ELISA, that's for sure. Plus we know labs mess
up human tests, so we have to know that IFAs sent out can get messed up, too.
even if they are truly positive they can live whatever life they have just as
happily as any other cat!

All you have to do when administering antibiotics is to use probiotics mixed
into their food. Just plain acidophiolus, will do, too. And if the cats
happen to like yogurt, even better - but make sure you get real yogurt with
real acidophilus, not some fake sweetended yogurt.

Our vet clinic uses these tests and I questioned them about it.
They guarantee they are fine, and I've had at least 5 cats test

It's very bad practice to vaccinate cats while they are having

There are some really stupid vets out there. If you bring in a sick cat
that doesn't have an up-to-date rabies vaccine, many will insist that they
cannot treat a cat without one, and insist on vaccinating before treating
the sick cat. My vet does NOT! I know of one veterinary hospital that will
Because if the owner has to go into the nursing home and is fortunate enough

And who is going to take care of the cat if the owner isn't
available? In many rural areas the cat will be taken to the pound or
thrown out to take care of himself/herself. This is particularly hard
for older cats. It is a judgment call that must be made with all
factors considered and

Problem is declawing is so harmful to adult cats- painful, hard to adjust to,

Just add this to the consideration.
To summarize, 'declawing' is a misnomer. When a cat is 'declawed'
they are having their toes amputated at the first knuckle. Period.
Now, think about you having all ten toes cut off at the first knuckle.
